To know Amps you need to know the voltage and power factor. For a pure resistive load and a normal house voltage of 120 VAC then you just divide wattage by voltage to get Amps. Power factor is a maximum of one for resistive load and decreases with various inductive loads that cause current and voltage to be out of phase.

Example 1: 1600 watts / 120 volts = 13.3 amps

Example 2: 15 amp outlet x 120 volts = 1800 watts

Best guess in your case is 13.3 Amps at 120 Volts assuming a load like an electric heater or incandescent bulbs.

There are zero amps in 1600 watts. Watts is the product of amps times volts. The equation that you are looking for is A = W/V. As you can see without a voltage stated the amperage can not be given.

How many amps does 1600 watts draw at 120 volts?

Divide the 1600 w by the 120 v and the answer is 13.33 amps. If you don't know the power factor for the equipment, increase the result by 20% to 16 amps.


How many amps are in 1600 watts?

It depends on the voltage, if the voltage is 230v then the answer would be 6.95 Amps. Try the Watts2Amps App on the iPhone, that's what I use.


How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?

watts = volts * amps--> Amps = watts/ volts therefore; 2000/220= 9.09 amps


How many amps is 9000 watts?

9000 watts is zero amps. Amps are the product of amps times volts. Without a voltage stated an answer can not be given. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts.


How many Watts are in 730 amps?

There are zero watts in 730 amps. Watts is the product of amps times volts. As you can see without a voltage no answer can be given.


How many amps with 70 watts 13.8 Volts dc?

Watts = Volts * Amps Therefore: 70 Watts / 13.8 Volts = 5.07 Amps


How many amperes in a watt and how many watts in a volt?

Amps, volts and watts are interrelated, but you need to do a little math. Amps * Volts = Watts


How many watts in a 115 volt refrigerator?

How many Amps is the fridge pulling? Multiply the Amps by the 120V circuit you're plugging into and you'll get your Watts.


How many watts in 40 amps?

I t depends. Watts = Amps times volts. 40 amps x 120 volts =4800 watts or 40 Amps x 12 volts = 480 watts.


How many watt in amp?

It's watts divided by volts equals amps. Example: 1200 watts at 120 volts is 10 amps. To get the watts if you know the amps, multiply the amps times the volts. 10 amps at 120 volts is 1200 watts.


At 12 volts how many watts is 30 amps?

Watts is volts times amps, so 12 x 30 = 360 watts


How many amps are in 2000 watts?

To obtain the amperage from 2000 watts the voltage is needed. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
